Take control of Delta Squad’s technological flagship thanks to the cutting-edge plastic engineering of the High Grade (HG) range developed by Bandai Spirits.
This exclusive Deluxe edition showcases the VF-31E Siegfried piloted by Chuck Mustang, configured for electronic support and the protection of the Walküre tactical sound unit. The model stands out with its striking amber-yellow, white and grey livery. As a special edition, the set includes an acrylic figurine of the idol Reina Prowler and a huge sheet of decorative stickers featuring the singer’s colourful graphic designs.
An ingenious ‘Shortcut Change’ transformation:
The main strength of this collection lies in its simplified transformation system (Shortcut Change). By using a set of replacement parts for the central chassis, the kit overcomes the fragility of earlier models, allowing for easy switching between the saga’s three legendary configurations: the aerodynamic fighter mode (Fighter), the hybrid ‘chicken-foot’ mode (Gerwalk) and the full combat robot mode (Battroid).
State-of-the-art electronic systems and a premium finish:
The VF-31E stands out thanks to its huge, disc-shaped rotating radome mounted on its back, essential for data jamming. The box set is generously equipped: the cockpit canopy features an exclusive plastic polarisation treatment that changes colour depending on the angle of the light, and the robot comes complete with its weapon pods, assault knives and a mini pilot figure to place at the controls.
